American Standard Code for Information Interchange.

ASCII is a code that assigns a number to each letter of the alphabet (lower case and upper case) and to each special character found on a standard English typewriter, plus various special codes (backspace, space, delete, carriage return, line feed, etc). It dates from the early 1960s.

ASCII text does not include special formatting features and therefore can be exchanged and read by most computer systems.
